A CMO has been issued with 3 tranches and a residual (the residual owns no principal at origination). At origination: - Tranche A investors own $55,000,000 of principal with a coupon rate of 3.50%. - Tranche B investors own $8,000,000 of principal with a coupon rate of 3.70%. - Tranche Z investors own $11,000,000 of principal with a coupon rate of 4.50%. The residual carries no principal and receives remaining payments. At origination, the mortgages backing the security issued are FRM with mortgage rate of 4.50% with 30 year maturities and MONTHLY payments. Assume no servicing/guarantee fee and no prepayments. Remember to adjust rates to monthly if necessary. Round your answers to cents. a) What is the mortgage pool's starting balance at origination?

Suppose your firm issues a €100,000,000 5-year bond with a coupon rate of 8% per annum (assume annual compounding). The bond will sell at face value to investors. The underwriting spread is an up-front fee of 2%. What is the actual cost of this debt? Please enter your answer as % -- e.g. if your answer is 2.34% type in 2.34.
Part B: At t=0, you purchase a four-year, 5 percent coupon bond (paid annually) that is priced to yield 6 percent continuously compounded (YTM = 6% continuously compounded). The face value of the bond is $1,000. The bond issuer is the U.S. government (no liquidity risk). You are also given that your holding period (investment horizon) equals to 3.70 years (t=T=3.70 years). Suppose that the market interest rate changes to 5.50 percent continuously compounded during the first year of your purchase (within year 1), and it remains at that level for the remaining life of the bond. Assume that, the reinvestment rate for the first coupon payment is the new interest rate that is, 5.50 percent continuously compounded. In addition, you will reinvest the coupor payments in a zero-coupon bond. What is your continuously compounded Holding Period Return of your investment at the end of your investment horizon (t=3.70) years?
